These days, extreme or crash diets are accountable for a lot of cases of female hair loss, based on the Institute of Trichologists. The institute mentioned that the diet plays an important role in nourishing the hair follicles for healthy hair growth.

A well balanced diet is more than enough to supply all the nutrients the hair needs for growth. Of all the nutrients available, protein in particular is what the hair follicles since this is what hair is primarily made of.
Because obesity is a problem for a lot of people, it is not unusual to find women following some form of dieting program. These programs are made to slowly reduce the weight of an individual. Typically, a dietician will set up a plan for a patient to follow. Everything is measured to the last ounce and there is usually a targeted or expected weight reduction for a certain time period.
Some patients find these programs helpful but some fail the program and end up with their original weight or sometimes heavier. Then again, there are a number of patients that go to extreme diets and eat far less than what is recommended. This drastic change in diet puts a toll not only on the body, but also on each hair follicle.
As mentioned earlier, the follicles need protein to produce hair and without this important nutrient a condition called telogen effluvium can happen. This is when all the hair follicles change or are forced to go into the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle regardless of what phase they are. This causes massive hair fall in just a short period of time. Fortunately, telogen effluvium can easily be reversed by eating a normal diet and in just a few months hair will eventually grow back.
To avoid any hair fall or hair loss while dieting, it is best to use a FAST shampoo and conditioner. FAST or Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy is made of amino acids and B complex vitamins all of which are essential for healthy hair growth and hair fall prevention. It also helps to hair grow fast, about 40% faster than normal.
